After finally getting the guts together to go to the doctors and speak to him about WLS this week, I am feeling disappointed now. He basically said there was nothing more he could do than refer me to a local weight management service, which I will have to work with for a year. With a BMI of 56 I thought I should have had a good chance at getting a good result, seeing as I have high blood pressure too. Can anyone give me advice at what the weight management group might entail? I haven’t had my appointment through, but I had my heart set on getting surgery so I can lose weight and finally keep it off. With my BMI that high do you think there is a chance they might help me at the weight management service? On my first discussion with them can I query about NICE guidelines? Has anyone got any advice? I feel so let down right now and just feel I have a massive battle ahead of me and don’t know if I have the strength to fight . I will not be giving up though and will do anything to lose weight, I am so unhappy right now.
